reworked Violetshine family tree! i was just gonna do the Sharpclaw line (the most plot important one), but it had so few changes I just extended the graph to include all sides of her tree.
as always, lots of inspiration taken from bonefall's tree
i use bone's 3 strict rules for fixing trees, with the tweak that characters must be more distant than second cousins to be compatible, rather than first. most important to know is the Queen's Rights.
Clovertail only has her first litter to nuke her impact on the tree. She became mates with Patchfoot afterwards, and he's considered her kits stepdad.
Sparrowpelt is no longer Tinycloud's mate. are they stupid
Pigeonfoot and Sunnypelt were found and adopted by Sparrowpelt during the period where Skyclan was scattered after Darktail. I mostly just needed to throw them somewhere; unlike Bonefall, I don't like removing characters. Every background nobody is someone's blorbo
Sharpclaw is no longer Cherrytail's mentor.
Hawkwing still helped Plumwillow raise her kits, but is not considered their dad. He's more like that friend of ur parents who u call uncle. trust me guys I wanted to keep the adoption it just lead to too many problems
Twigbranch and Finleap are now in a QPR, but not listed here because I don't (normally) list couples without kits. These trees get crowded enough as-is
Wrenflight was renamed to Wrenfeather to avoid conflict with Wrenflight of Windclan.
Needleclaw's mate is now Wrenfeather, instead of Kitescratch. she's currently expecting so whatever kits she has in a book or 2 will be Needleclaw's.
Tinycloud's mate is now Snookthorn, who's sticking around longer. why doesn't canon love the daylight warriors like I do
Quailfeather is now a SandyEgg kit, and not Tinycloud's. This is mostly because Snookthorn is gone by this point and thus they can't have a second litter, but also because I wanted Finleap to have a littermate, since bio-kin is really important to his arc.
Rockshade is Plumwillow's mate instead of Sandynose. Finleap stays with Sandynose; his other dad is Egg.
Kitescratch's mate is now Gravelnose, in exchange for Needleclaw getting Wrenfeather. There's a good chance that canon will make Starlingpaw being Tree's grandson relevant, so I may have to change this back, but until then I plug my ears and go lalalala
